Today when i gave my car to servicing at Arya Honda, Bhandup. I have spotted 2 ivtec City's, in which 1 is TD car and other one is for delivery. Both are VX manual model in Carnelian red color. So i think they have started to delivered petrol cars in Mumbai also.

Took the car to dealer. They checked the door alignement , switches and electricals. As per the SA one of the door switch was slightly misaligned, which is fixed. But on my way back the problem reappeared and door got unlocked and locked by itself twice. This happens when the car goes over the hump or pothole. But strangley today morning when i drove to office it didn't happen. Yesterday evening i thought of taking it to dealer today morning but now i'm thinking of waiting till first service.

Other updates

Odo now shows 310Kms, Avg milage is approx 19km/l, this includes mix of bumper to bumper traffic and freeway crusing at 100kmph with AC on all the time.

Run in.

This is what i'm planning to run in the engine, give your advice\suggestions

First 250kms. Completed succesfully :)

A. Keep the RPM around 2000 never go above 2500
B. Maintain the gears without lugging the engine
C. No hard acceleration or braking
D. Switch on AC once engine warms up (approx 3-4mins) after starting car

I have just completed 100km on the ODO in 1 day one thing I would like to say about modern diesels, run in is more of a personal choice I have pushed my car to 3.5K mark already .. I had done so in my desire VDI very early. I dont think they require a run in period of Aluminium engines this is my 2 cents please feel free to correct me if I am wrong.

I may book my Honday City Petrol V model in March month, but I must say that the way I have seen passion in people for Honda City. I have not seen this type of passion for Hyundai Verna/Vento/Rapid or Scala. I guess this type of passion is only seen with the people owing FIAT cars.

The main reason is the the quality benchmark for the segment is the Honda City and they deliver to the customer the best reliability which i can vouch for i have the 2009 Ivtec which has run 115K with no major issues at all and now 2 days ago i got the delivery of the IDtec. Other manufacturers have issues with the car or service or just the brand name itself.

Precisely the reason i have moved to Honda. All the people around me who owns one swears by its reliability. Yes, there spares are costly and dealerships do throw attitude but then you have the peace of mind of not being stranded in the middle of road with an engine breakdown. I am hoping just for the same.

Today I took a test ride of Hyundai Verna 1.6 and Honda City Petrol. I felt the sitting position in Honda is much better, the seat infact is better. Honda City felt more roomier. Also felt that Hyundai Verna 1.6 is not that power booster like their Diesel. Ride of Honda city petrol was way better. Quite, Fast, specious was my feeling. May book this City this week. Totally impressed by Petrol engine. (This was the first time I drove Honda city petrol and Hyundai Verna Petrol)

Honda Cars India Ltd (HCIL) has sold 14,543 vehicles in February, a 123 per cent growth on a strong sales of its new Honda City which sold 7213 units and Honda Amaze 6030 units. Brio managed 1235 units while CR-V found 65 buyers. The company sold 6,510 units in the corresponding month last year.

Honda is known for Petrol Engine and the one in City is one of the Best. In everyway the City is better then Verna. Which variant and Color are you interested in ?. I think Maroon, Silver, Brown have least waiting. After TD you have realized how much better City is and i would definitely not reject it. In my opinion V is VFM variant. I am also interested in one but it will take Time.

Today my neighbour had called for TD of Verna Diesel and he asked me whether it will be a good replacement for his 7 year old Indigo, I agreed. I asked him have you considered new City ?. The reply was Shocking, He said its Petrol. I immediately said that New City also has Diesel Option and he said he'll also TD it on Monday.

Man if you are in Petrol market for this segment then close your eyes and go for City, I bet you will not be disappointed. There is no competition for IVTEC in the market.

I'm inclined towards White or Silver color. However all my previous cars were white so I may go for Silver this time. Al though my better half wish to have white again. I'm going to dare with silver. I just hope its not too difficult to maintain and touchup if required. Yes, all though V is out of my budget. I'm going to streach my budget and go for V version.

Good decision Tusharg, go for the V model, it is packed with all goodies.

I think, the most people who had silver would go for white and visa versa. My previous color was silver so I opted white Both are lighter colors and have same color statistics. Only thing is silver is metallic white is not. Touch-ups on metallic is not possible where as white can take it. Silver hides minor scratches very well.

If anyone can stretch the budget to go for V, I think they should do it, its more than worth the extra 50K IMO.

Anyone here received iVtec? Nothing from Mangalore and not even a test drive vehicle.
